100 percent entertainment for a partner

[ellenm]

which line to use for 100 percent deductible entertainment?  On E - supplemental business expenses

Where did you find that 100% entertainment is deductible? Or, that any entertainment is deductible?

[ellenm]

you are kidding right?

"you are kidding right?"

Well, I thought you were the one kidding!

Even before TCJA, entertainment was not deductible in nearly all conditions. There were very slim definitions that would provide for entertainment as a business expense, and you asked also about Partner.

Why not provide the details of what you have and what you want done with it?

Entertainment is now 100 percent deductible?  I must have been so interested in the 100% meal deduction at my tax class that I must have missed that one.

I like using the web resources, rather than read IRS code (although Cornell's presentation is nice). I also wanted to find a resource that includes recent changes such as CAA:

"The 2017 TCJA generally eliminated the deduction for any expenses related to activities generally considered entertainment, amusement or recreation. However, taxpayers may still deduct business expenses related to food and beverages if certain requirements are met.

These final regulations address the disallowance of the deduction for expenditures related to entertainment, amusement or recreation activities, including the applicability of certain exceptions to this disallowance. They also provide guidance to determine whether an activity is considered entertainment. The final regulations also address the limitation on the deduction of food and beverage expenses."
